3. Write an expression for the area of each section of the wall.

Answer 1

5 (10 x X) because to get area you do like the times width so it’s 10 times X and theres five sections

If you have the total area you just need to divide by five to find the area of each section

10 times X is an expression for the area of each section of the wall because it’s just the length times the width of the wall segment
